8. How long will we process your data?

We pay great attention to limiting the scope of data we collect as well as the time of its processing to the minimum necessary. For this purpose, we carry out systematic reviews of our paper and electronic documents, removing unnecessary ones that have expired. Remember that the processing time of your data, depending on the basis on which we obtained it, may be determined by separate legal provisions – independent of us, which may impose an obligation on us to store your data, regardless of your will or desire. Examples include labor law, social security law and accounting regulations.

If you personally used our services and we concluded a contract in this matter, we process personal data for the duration of the contract, and after its expiry or termination until the limitation period for any claims expires or until the rights and obligations arising from legal provisions, including tax and accounting regulations, are exercised.

8. What rights do you have in relation to your data?

If we process your personal data, you always have the right to:
